NOTE: This PR should not be included in 4.9.1 since additional
DAP4 related PRs will be forthcoming.
This PR makes major changes to libdap4 and dap4_test driven by changes to TDS.
* Enable DAP4
* Clean up the test input files and the test baseline comparison files. This entails:
* Remove a multitude of unused test input and baseline data files; among them are dap4_test/: daptestfiles, dmrtestfiles, nctestfiles, and misctestfiles.
* Define a canonical set of test input files and record in dap4_test/cdltestfiles.
* Use the cdltestfiles to generate the .nc test inputs. This set of .nc files is then moved to the d4ts (DAP4 test server) war file in the tds repository. This set then becomes the canonical set of DAP4 test sources.
* Scrape d4ts to obtain copies of the raw streams of DAP4 encoded data. The .dmr and .dap streams are then stored in dap4_test/rawtestfiles.
* Disable some remote server tests until those servers are fixed.
* Add an option to ncdump (-XF) that forces the type of the _FillValue attribute; this is primarily to simplify testing of fill mismatch.
* Minor bug fixes to ncgen.
* Changes to libdap4:
* Replace old checksum hack with the dap4.checksum flag.
* Support the dap4.XXX controls.
* Cleanup _FillValue handling, especially var-attribute type mismatches.
* Fix enum handling based on changes to netcdf-java.
* Changes to dap4_test:
* Add getopt support to various test support programs.
* Remove unneeded shell scripts.
* Add new scripts: test_curlopt.sh
re: Discussion https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/discussions/2214
The primary change is to support so-called "standard filters".
A standard filter is one that is defined by the following
netcdf-c API:
````
int nc_def_var_XXX(int ncid, int varid, size_t nparams, unsigned* params);
int nc_inq_var_XXXX(int ncid, int varid, int* usefilterp, unsigned* params);
````
So for example, zstandard would be a standard filter by defining
the functions *nc_def_var_zstandard* and *nc_inq_var_zstandard*.
In order to define these functions, we need a new dispatch function:
````
int nc_inq_filter_avail(int ncid, unsigned filterid);
````
This function, combined with the existing filter API can be used
to implement arbitrary standard filters using a simple code pattern.
Note that I would have preferred that this function return a list
of all available filters, but HDF5 does not support that functionality.
So this PR implements the dispatch function and implements
the following standard functions:
+ bzip2
+ zstandard
+ blosc
Specific test cases are also provided for HDF5 and NCZarr.
Over time, other specific standard filters will be defined.
## Primary Changes
* Add nc_inq_filter_avail() to netcdf-c API.
* Add standard filter implementations to test use of *nc_inq_filter_avail*.
* Bump the dispatch table version number and add to all the relevant
dispatch tables (libsrc, libsrcp, etc).
* Create a program to invoke nc_inq_filter_avail so that it is accessible
to shell scripts.
* Cleanup szip support to properly support szip
when HDF5 is disabled. This involves detecting
libsz separately from testing if HDF5 supports szip.
* Integrate shuffle and fletcher32 into the existing
filter API. This means that, for example, nc_def_var_fletcher32
is now a wrapper around nc_def_var_filter.
* Extend the Codec defaulting to allow multiple default shared libraries.
## Misc. Changes
* Modify configure.ac/CMakeLists.txt to look for the relevant
libraries implementing standard filters.
* Modify libnetcdf.settings to list available standard filters
(including deflate and szip).
* Add CMake test modules to locate libbz2 and libzstd.
* Cleanup the HDF5 memory manager function use in the plugins.
* remove unused file include//ncfilter.h
* remove tests for the HDF5 memory operations e.g. H5allocate_memory.
* Add flag to ncdump to force use of _Filter instead of _Deflate
or _Shuffle or _Fletcher32. Used for testing.
This consists of a persistent attribute named
_NCProperties plus two computed attributes
_IsNetcdf4 and _SuperblockVersion.

NetCDF-c Github issue #185
The code in libsrc/dim.c has not been upgraded to support
CDF-5 format.
Rule we are implementing sets the max dimension sizes as follows:
Classic: CDF-1 NC_MAX_INT - 3 = 2147483647 - 3
64 bit Offset: CDF-2 NC_MAX_UINT - 3 = 4294967295 - 3
64 bit Data: CDF-5 NC_MAX_UINT64 - 3 = 18446744073709551615 - 3
The -3 is to handle rounding.
Add a new function called nc_inq_format_extended that
returns more detailed format information (vis-a-vis
nc_inq_format) about an open dataset.
Note that the netcdf API will present the file as if it had
the format specified by nc_inq_format. The true file
format, however, may not even be a netcdf file; it might be
DAP, HDF4, or PNETCDF, for example. This function returns
that true file type. It also returns the effective mode for
the file.
signature: nc_inq_format_extended(int ncid, int* formatp, int* modep)
where
* ncid is the NetCDF ID from a previous call to nc_open() or
nc_create().
* formatp is a pointer to a location for returned true format.
* modep is a pointer to a location for returned mode flags.
Refer to the actual list in the file netcdf.h to see the
currently defined set.
Also added test cases (tst_formatx*).
